Agrupación Deportiva Ceuta was a Spanish football team based in the autonomous city of Ceuta. Founded in 1969 and dissolved in 1991, it held home matches at Estadio Alfonso Murube, with a capacity of 6,500.
History From 1977 until 1991, Ceuta played 13 seasons in Segunda División B. The only exception was 1980–81, when the club competed in Segunda División, finishing 20th and last; on 7 September 1980, the first game in the category was played, a 2–0 home win against CD Málaga, one of 11 during the campaign (the top and the bottom-ranked teams were separated by only 16 points).
In summer 1991, following severe economic problems – which led to the club's relegation to Tercera División for not paying its players – Agrupación Deportiva folded, being replaced by AD Ceuta.
